Flower of Devotion

Venerable Mary of Jesus describes the institution of the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar in her apparitions in the following words:

 Throughout His life, the Divine Saviour revealed His unlimited love for mankind. All His actions were proof of this love. But in the last hours of His life, the Lord Jesus wanted to show the tenderness of His love in an even stronger way.
When the Divine Savior arrived at the house of the Last Supper, where everything had already been prepared, He had with His disciples the prescribed supper by the law of the law. In His unspeakable humility He washed the feet of His apostles and even of His betrayer Judas. After the Savior had washed His feet, He and the twelve apostles sat down again at table and demanded bread and wine. He put the bread on his plate, and poured some of the wine into a cup that was at the ready. Then he spoke very lovingly to the apostles, and his words, which always penetrated the hearts of his hearers, were this time like fiery arrows of love, kindling the charming fire of love also in the hearts of the apostles.
Then He took the bread that lay on the plate into His most worthy hands of reverence, prayed in spirit to the heavenly Father, lifted up His eyes to Heaven, and pronounced these words of consecration or transfiguration over the bread, thereby transforming it into His true Body. He also pronounced the words of consecration of the wine over the chalice, thereby transforming the wine into His true Blood.
Then Our High Priest, Jesus Christ, lifted up His transfigured Body and His transfigured Blood so that all who were present at that first Mass would pay homage to the Blessed Sacrament.
When all had done so, the Saviour divided the Blessed Sacrament with His fingers, and first received Holy Communion Himself, as the first and supreme High Priest. Then he took another piece of transfigured bread and gave it to St. Archangel Gabriel to take it and give it to the Blessed Virgin Mary. He then gave the rest of the transfigured bread to the apostles and instructed them to share and eat it, which they did.
By this command the Lord Jesus conferred on the apostles the dignity of the priesthood, which they soon began to exercise, by the fact that each of them communicated himself, and this with a feeling of the deepest reverence, with abundant tears and manifestations of the highest respect due to the Body and Blood of the Saviour.
